Event Description
This event features a score-orienteering course for all skill levels from beginning to advanced in South Beaverton . You can expect moderate hills, and changing street patterns with each neighborhood.
Each control site shown on your map is a home decorated for the holidays and the score value for that site is determined by the tens digit of the control number (i.e.,control #38 is worth 30 points). The higher value control sites are either further from the starts or they have very special holiday decorations for you to enjoy.
​
Unlike other score-O events, this event does not have a time limit. However, for the best viewing, we recommend starting after 5:00 PM and finishing before 10:00 PM. Be sure to wear reflective clothing so that you are easily seen by car drivers.
​
To be listed in the competitive results you will use the MapRun® phone app with a managed start/finish on December 12 when the MTHD founders will be in attendance. If you prefer to be non competitive, you can just use the printed map, if you wish or you can use the MapRun® phone app (it is fun to use).
If you plan to attend on December 12, please indicate this on your registration so that we can be sure to have enough printed maps and treats available for everyone.

Safety
This is an urban venue with car traffic. We strongly recommend that you wear reflective clothing and take care whenever you cross streets and driveways--car drivers do not know that you are there unless you show yourself. We also recommend that minors be accompanied by their parents or other responsible adults. Teams are typically safer than individuals (and they can be more fun when looking at holiday displays).
